"Visualizing WordNet relationships as graphs" by Eric

Google finds HWordNet, which looks pretty reasonable. For maximum enjoyment, you’ll also want some kind of DAG or graph library, and visualization tools.

I have to say, I’m delighted about WordNet, because it is both terrifyingly comprehensive and remarkably robust—you can actually get away with writing software that reasons robustly over WordNet relationships. I find this remarkable, and may post some examples soon.

Do you know of any similar modules in Haskell that will let me play around with this sort of thing?

Hmm. Thanks for pointing out the errors. Let me take a look at this.

Update: Ah, I see. All the pages with Haskell code were broken because my code formatter had not survived the upgrade. Fixed, and thank you for letting me known about the errors!

I am looking for the article on Bayesian monads, and some other Haskell related stuff, but I keep getting an error on the pages.

I hope they are not lost permanently, an will be back online soon.

"Ruby-style metaprogramming in JavaScript (plus a port of RSpec)" by Eric

Ooh, jspec is nice.

But it only gets about halfway there: If you’re going to build a JavaScript preprocessor, it would be really useful to add support for class declarations, etc., and not just for specifications.

"McCarthy's Ambiguous Operator" by person-b

This reminds me of Damian Conway’s Positronic::Variables CPAN Perl module. He wrote it for his (hilarious – highly recommended) talk on “Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming In Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces…Made Easy!” (http://blip.tv/file/1145545/). It actually did look into the future.
